The post in which I ramble about nothing….

Oh wait, isn’t that the theme for every post?  Whatever, I feel chatty tonight, so let’s chat.  In random order of course, because that is how my mind rolls these days.

First off, I want to firmly state that:

WALLPAPER.IS.OF.THE.DEVIL.!!!

Can’t Touch This (Oh Yes You Can!)

Friends, I bear good news.

I FIXED THE DOORBELL!!!!!!!!!!!

It is indeed a Glorious Triumph!  Oh the sweet sound of victory (and Jehovah’s witnesses) shall now ring forth throughout the homestead!

(FYI, victory sounds alot like a doorbell.)

Sure, I could have just bought the wireless doorbell, but that doesn’t teach us anything now does it?  Well maybe it teaches you just how stubborn I am.  But that’s not the point.

The point is that I WON!  THE DOORBELL LOST!

Sucker.

The Joys of Homeownership

So, in an effort to prep the house for our big move, I’ve been running around doing all of those things that we should have been doing the whole time we lived here, but were too busy sitting on our rumps complaining about having nothing to do and watching movies.

So I haz been kind of busy.  Cleaning, sorting, etc.  Which reminds me….

Leaving us a kitchen with only three functioning outlets.  Kind of a problem.

Day 1: What We Do Best

Well, seeing as how I’ve committed myself to yapping your ears (eyes?) off these next few (cough, 30) days, I figured I’d start with explaining our conspicuous, or rather not so conspicuous, absence from the blogging scene.

Oh Dear Reader, it has been a whirlwind of a few months. Let’s start back in August when we officially fell off the planet.

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby Right Round

I know. I know! It has been far too long since we got our blog on. It’s a travesty really. It isn’t that we don’t have perfectly blogable things to well, blog, about. It’s just that we’ve been kind of busy.

And out of town a lot. That definitely has something to do with it.

But here we are (again) trying to climb back in the proverbial saddle and keep on riding, err blogging.

So without further ado, I give you a tale of victory. A tale of triumph!
